1. For slab casting, it is lightweight and does not require any formwork or support props.

Wet concrete casting in traditional construction requires a supporting structure because wet concrete cannot support its own weight with just reinforced steel. The support is assembled and disassembled both before and after the casting, which extends the overall project timeline.

2. This reduces the amount of reinforcing steel by 20% because the deck profile itself largely contributes to the tensile reinforcing property. 

The floor deck serves as a structural component of the building and transfers horizontal forces similarly to the reinforced steel. As a result, less reinforced steel is needed. Additionally, the structure’s weight is decreased.

3. It acts as a permanent shuttering and composite member.

Instead of using temporary shuttering for the concrete casting, decks are used as permanent shuttering inside the structure, making the floor a composite structure of concrete with a stronger yield strength for the entire structure.

4. There is no need for major reinforcement unless the design parameters require it. 

The deck as a whole plane provides a stronger connection between the purlins and beams, providing greater structural strength than just major reinforced steel.

5. Slab thickness reductions result in lighter slabs and lower foundation loads, resulting in less material. 

The floor thickness in concrete casting is difficult to regulate and frequently much thicker than in floor casting with decks. The concrete floors self-weight even weakens the floor’s overall yield strength.

5. Consumption and thus cost savings 

Casting a floor with decks requires less cement and reinforced steel, which covers deck costs and more.

6.The deck can be utilized as a work surface while building

Decks keep workers safer during construction than hanging between reinforced steel and shuttering. This improves worker safety.

7. Getting the construction done faster will save time and money. 

Floor decking enables construction without shuttering and additional supports during assembly and disassembly, greatly reducing the time required for the entire project. Eventually, labor costs will decrease.

8.Metal decks can also be used in concrete roofing and cladding sheets.

In addition to decks for floors, there are also decks for roofing and wall cladding. They provide greater structural strength for the building and take less time to install and construct.
